Two Westlake police officers who were involved in the shooting death of Devan Desnoyers Oct. 10 were legally justified in their use of force, according to a press release from Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty. The announcement came after the grand jury examined the evidence in the case and found that the officers were “objectively reasonable and justified in light of the events of that morning,” the release said. According to the release, Westlake officers responded to a 911 call reporting an armed robbery at CVS Pharmacy, 30791 Detroit Rd., around 9:30 a.m. All of the officers, including the two involved in the shooting were aware that three area pharmacies had also been robbed by a man saying he had a gun and threatening to shoot the pharmacists.
